This is a major win for Mississippi and our Gulf Coast.

Mississippi has worked for nearly two decades to move this project forward, and this approval marks an important milestone in the process. 

Deepening the Port of Gulfport to 46 feet means bigger ships, more cargo, and a wider array of logistics opportunities flowing through Mississippi. 

This expanded gateway for commerce will continue our state’s historic momentum toward global leadership in economic development. 

Thank you to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for helping us reach this critical step.

Mississippi state Rep. Bo Brown has passed away at the age of 81.

The Jackson-based Democratic lawmaker passed away after suffering a “long illness,” according to his family.

“I’m sad to learn this morning of the loss of State Representative Bo Brown,” Gov. Tate Reeves wrote on X. “Rep. Brown was a dedicated public servant who cared deeply about Jackson and worked hard to improve the lives of those he represented.”

Mississippi maintained its ranking as the nation’s 16th-best state for K-12 education in the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s 2026 KIDS COUNT Data Book, though the report found the state continues to face significant challenges when it comes to children’s health.

For the first time, the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s annual 50-state report included comprehensive scores ranging from 0 to 1,000 rather than relying solely on rankings. The scores track 16 indicators across four domains – economic well-being, education, health, and family and community factors – from 2019 to 2024. According to the foundation, the new system with both scores and rankings intends to give “a more complete picture of child well-being.”
